Lieut. Powell with about 00 men, including regu

told thorn she would carry them where the Indiana
were encamped, which was about 7 miles off. I.t,
P. attacked them,the Indians roturned the fire with
a gteat deal nf spirit, whan the sailors ran, and had
it not been for the artillery they would all have been

Gen. Jesup.
Since the above was In type, (and despatohad by

attention of corre«|Mindcnts, received further parti
cular*, which wo hasten to lay before our readers.
While our gallant olficrrs are yielding every thing,
even /(/«, at the eall of their country, the wiseacres
in Congress are seeking to nrray their sympathies
for the murderous Seminoln against thn necessities
of our bleeding troops. Is this a timo far party de
nunciation, when monny is asked to reliove an army
sent to exterminate those bloodhounds f Let then
the wise men at Washington refrain from such un
seasonable waste of words.
A letter from "camp, near tha Everglados, and
25 mile* west of ihe depot at India River Inlet,”

"You will hoar, probwhly, before tills reaches

THEATRE.
We witarssed on Saturday evening the represen
tation ef Mrs. lacitBALb's comedy of Wives at
they were, and Maids as they are. To call this
comedy excellent cannot bedeemed supererogatory,
when In tlie hands of Coorim and his gifii-d daugh
ter though it lacks the wit of tho sterling comedies
of Sheridan, of Knowles, and last not least, " the
bard of Avon.” As le its moral, we cannot soy
much, for while tha authoress consigns lo a prison,
tho heroin# of the play for tho indulgence of that
fashionable vice of the com tly society of England
gaming, thorn is something revolting in a peer of
tho realm approving of Hronxoly, a fashionable rake,
-VJ making love to his lady, who "h«d told him truth
1, ar- y«*»»*." merely to
«!? V* * ne,Bnt 'tames the wreath of praise,
And boldly censure those of modern days."
Obedience, the result of conjugal schooling, more
than year* of low, tlie concomitant of conjugal con
fidence, seem* to actuate the lidy’s conduct. Be
sides, the modern gallant, to call him by no harsher
name, Is too much rowardrd fur his giddy course,
when ho assumes the control ofeven a Lady Raffle.
A halter, or a prison, nt least, would liavo been n
more suitable reward for such a cbnrnctvr; though,
perhaps, tho authoress In consigning tho lady to him,
intended that she should, by her indiscretion, lend
him to on« or tho other.
.Sir William, under the assumed name of Man-
dred, exhibits all the peevishness of tho rich old
father, who, having exhausted years In acquiring tho
sordid dust, has learned to placa that value on it,
which the judgment of the world, in evert age, a-
ward* to it. Having followed tho ndvlco nf logo—
" Put money in your purse"—he evinces a laudable
aversion to see it squandered by his child un sharpers
and fa.ltionable rogues, but Ills conduct is unnatural
in allnaing her to be consigned lo gloomy wall-, the
altodooftho vilest of mankind. This, however, lathe
fault of the fair author and not of rite actor,who,as in
days of )ore, observes the strict propriety of every
character he undertakes. Tho prison sceno is, for
tho time it consumes, a fino dovelopcment or tho
powers or Mr. end Miss C.j and the breathless si
lence which pervaded the ai-dirnce in the progress
of the interview between the father and the uncon
scious daughter, was nut only a worthy compliment
to tha two, but evinced tha judgment of the spec
tator*.
When it it revealed to Mist Dorrillon, by Man-
dred, that the fortunes of her (supposed) absent
father are changed, ami all his hopes are blasted,
the natural affection of the daughter gushes forth,
aud heeding not the conditions of the relief extend-
lowed her direction and came upon the Indians— ... ..... , - —
some say 46—some 60—and other* 80 or more. I , V* h ! r ' * hv l " n * u •* 0,, ° " r ,IBr tathcr, and ima<
The fire commenced on hit side, when the Indians l ’ ov ® rt 7' »tak, or in prison,”
returned it with spirit, and toon put the sailors into
utter confusion, who fled, and the whole party would
hsvo been cut to pieces, but for tha regulars, at
Lieut. Powell and all acknowledge. Six or eight
were killed and loft upon the ground, with a man
win was oidy wounded, but could not retire. Ha
was left to the tender mercy of tho Indians. Dr.
Lightner, of the navy, was killed, and every officer
wounded. Tlte regular* behaved nobly.
Two of the boats were left, inona of which were
a keg of powder and a box of cartridges, with rum,
whiskey, and other sailor comforts.
We are within 21 miles of Fort Basinger, one of
tho forts on Kissimre rivet. We have anw a cor
don of posts from Charlotte harbor tn Indian river,
and most of the Indians are believed to be south of

Inlet. E F., say*,
" Wo htvo nothing here but what will reach you
before thi* letter The affair near the Jupiter Inlet
it very unfortunate and will, no doubt, inspirit the
enemy.
Gon. J»*up and staff, with the 2d regiment dra
goon*,reached camp from Indian river depot yester-
day. It is pretty well ascertainsd that the largest
body of Indiana is collected on tha islands and the

my will probably move from this position, in a day

not to break, and forgetting the •• lollies and extra
vagancies of London,” the oxelaims—" Exact what
now you will on this occasion, l will make and keep
It.” (Than observing Mr. Norborry entering, the
addresses him)—
' Oh, Mr. Norberry, be hat been telling me such
things of my father I"
Mr. Norbttry— 1 " Hat he! then kneel again—
call him by that name, and Implore him not to dis
own you for bis child."
Mist Dorrillon—“ Good Heaven f I dare not—
I dare not do as you require.”
In tho utterance of this reply to Norberry, all the
anguish of the daughter, tuddouly rouse.out of the
extent of lier offence, is finely portrayed by Miss
Cooper, and in beholding her, we are compolted to
forget the actress, in the feminine conception of a
child's remorse.
That the parent's emotion* were finely exhibited
by Mr. Cooper, it is unnecessary to observe, fur he
reditary talent sirikos a sympathetic chord, which
swelling in its tones by what it responds to,discern-
sat the eloquence of pathos.
But we have exceeded our limit*. We must
however, remind the reader that this earning will
be teen the fit representative of Shaktpearo'* char
acters in that of the " valiant knight."

Correspondence nf the Jlatlimore Republican.
Washington, Jan, 20, evening.
The Mtsstsstrrt Contkstld Election.
If the people were to form an opinion on iheli-nittli
of tho speech of Mr. Prentiss, which occupied three
days in the House of Representatives, they would
arrive at tho roiclusion, that there was something
really wondeifill oml extraordinary in thn Missis
sippi contested election. Nothing could lie fur
ther from the fact The ensn is u very simplo one.
and inny bo stated in a very few words.
The cotu-resdiund term, for which M-ssrs. John
F. H. Claiborne aud Samuel J. Ghnlson were elect
ed in Nov. 1835, expired on thn 4th day of March
1037. Thn next regular elertlon did not take place
till thn— --day of November. Of course them was
a vacancy in the Mississippi delegation, which would
have existed from Miroli till November, lud not an
especial election been ordered.
In the month of June last, Mr. Vnn Iluren Issued
hit proclamation convening a specinl session ofCnn-
gres* to bn opened hi September, lt wn* accord
ingly necessary that Mississippi should order n new
election, or she should bo left unrepresented in the
then approching special session. Gov. Lynch of
Mississippi, accordingly issued his proclamation di
recting a new elertlon to lake plncc in July In fi|.
ling tin his proclamation, he directed the election to
bo held lor members of Congress, to bold their sents
during the special session. Tho candidates of the
administration, were Messrs. John F H. Claiborne
and Samuel J. Gliolsun; those ofthe wigs, were S.
S. Prentiss and T. C. Acre.
Before the election took place, it wn* discovered
that tho Governor hnd mndu an important and a
disastrous blunder, and that who might ho rimed
in July would he elected for the entire term of thn
25th Congress. The people of Miss., were appris
ed ofthe fact, and voted accordingly. Messrs. Clni-
horn nnd Ghnlson were elected, the former lending
hit whig opponent nboitt f.,ur thousand votes, nnd
thn latter carrying with him a success that was quite
ar nenrly equal.
At the opening of tho special session. Messers.

Washington, and laid their case before tho House of
Representative*. It was referred to the enmmittoo
on elections, and that body reported that they were
duly elected mouther* of tlie 25lh Congress, nnd a*
such they were admitted tn sent*.
Thn Constitution expressly declares that "the
Homo nf Representatives ahull he composed of mem
bers chosen cveiy second year by the prop!,, nf the

were elected und thl* constitutional provision, nnd

tution which provides that “ each limns shall Im the
judge of tho election returns, and qualification* of it*

very .justly and conclusively Uml they were members
of the 25th Congress.
The whole question at that lime was, "era John

that they were members, and thus tho controversy
ended.
In November, another election fur members of Con

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Everett, of Vermont, lifter tho journal had
been read, asked the House totuke up and consider
a memorial from'John Ross, one of tho Chcrokre*,
praying against tire enforcement of the treaty made
between ihcUoiteslStnteit and theCh-rokecs,Where-
hy the hitler agree tn leave their present locating in
Georgia for a home west ofthe Mississippi. Tho
House consented tocuusidvr the matter at this time,
by n vote of86 to 83.
Mr Hnynes of Georgia then moved to lay tho
memorial on the table.
The House refused the motion, and Mr. Everett,
of Vt. mndo a brief defence of referring his memo
rial to the committee of the .judiciary with instruc
tion*. It was near one o'clock when Mr. Everett
took the floor, nnd after a few words his remarks
were brought *0 n rinse by the orders of the dny.
Mr. Everett, nf Vermont, proposes that this sub
ject shall he referred to the committee ofthe judi
ciary, and than that the judiciary committee shall
be instructed by th* Hmi*e to report n bill which
may set aside the Sehermerhorn treaty, as it is call-
od, by which the Cherokee* havo made an agree
ment to leave their present homes to go west of the
Mississippi.
At one o'clock an attempt was mad* to lay aside
the older* ofthe day, and to continue tho debate up-
on tliesuhject liefnre the House. The motion was
not in order, and the Mississippi contested election
came on,
Mr. Foster, of N. Y. not having closed his re
nark* nn Siturday,which he began on Friday, con-
tinned them this morning. %
He has been speaking three hours and hat not yet
concluded.
8F.NA1E.
A report from the secretary of war upon the same
tr aty to which Mr. Evurett'a memorial in the
House refers—the SeK. rinorh.im treaty—enmo up
for early consideration. A motion was made to
print five hundred extra copies, and upon this mo
tion a brief debate began upon tho merits of the
question.
Mr. Lumpkin, of Georgia, made some few re
marks of the same character of those in the report
of the oectetary of war, which were against the
spirit manifested by Mr. Ross and other Cherokee
chiefs, against the treaty. The remarks, however,
were but few, and the discussion cioood with an
order to print five hundred ex*nt conies of tlie re-
port, and somo papers published by the editor of the
Cbeerkee Pbo-aix, in favor of re-opening the treaty
•tween th* Cherokee* and th* United Slates.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Republican.
Washington, Jnn. 23, evening.
A bill making an appropriation for the supprrs-ion
tif Indian hostilities, wn* 1 of up to-day, fly u suspen
sion nf tlie rule, and Mr. Wise of Virginia, opposed
the measure with a deal of that warmth fur which
he is, too often, nod I am sorry tn snv, somewhat too
proierbial. He was very severe on Gen. Jesup—
on the people .,f Floridu, nnd nn every one who has
had aught to do witbthcSeminolennor Florida war.
Mr. Downing of Fl«*ida, a delegate, and a new
one, fi-.und himself called on, notwithstanding ho is
a w li'g, to defend not only tho people of Florida—
hut the secretary of war, Gen. Jesup, and the ad
ministration. Mr. Downing is a man of ex
ceeding modesty, of great eloquence aud intelli
gence. As snonnt Im commenced speaking, much
excitement was experienced and ull sides were very
anxious tn listen to the delegate from Florida. Af
ter he linrl spoken nn hour and upwards, he wn* dis
posed to yield tho floor from exhaustion, hut thn
rries of all side* railing loudly 011 him to go on, In
duced hint to speak at much greater length than he
had eridentlv nricinully nulicipatrd He surreM-
fully met and refuted till the positions of Mi. Wise,
and won n deal of applause. I do not know that the
administration ever found no alder advocate ihun it
had to-duy, in the Imnoruble Mr. Downing. And I
should suppose that 11 mao who has so uldy defen
ded the administration to-day, would hrrrufler Lo
found its suppoitei nn other occasions.
Looking nt the aspect of uflairs, at they have Ihhoi
presented to-day, I should support! that tlie d laite
commenced to-day, might he kept up, till one half of
tho Florida people are exterminated fur the want of
the necessary means to enable iliem to act success-
lully on the delensi e.
At the time I found it necessary tn bring try note
lo n close, the debate rvn* going nn, nnd Mr. Cilley
of Maine, wn* 011 the flo r. n defence of tho bill.
He advocated the bill with ability nnd real
lu consequenceofthisd-'lwiio, the Mississippi elec
tion, which wn« the legitimate order of tlie dny, got
tlie go-by, ^ I do not know when it will cotne up
again. It is auid that it is to be postponed for a forv
days.

C' ivcd n hull in his leg. A woman rosining nt

life is despaired of. A small party was immediate
ly organized, und followed the trail to the O-eilla,
where the Imliuns had crossed, nnd di-persed in
